GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave soccer team took on the Greenville Alumi squad in the annual Alumni Soccer Showcase at the Saturday night match at Harmon Field.

The teams played to a 0-0 tie after 40 minutes of play after falling 6-0 to the alumni team last year, bringing praise from Greenville Lady Wave soccer coach Samantha Grim, a member of the Alumni team.

“Better conditioned, better ball playing,” Grim said of the 2019 Lady Wave team. “We have a lot of freshmen coming up that are going to be killers on the field – and I love it.”

“I think every game last year they were getting better and even this off-season we were just touching the ball and it shows tonight,” noted Grim. “They left us 0-0 tonight and last year we (alumni) beat them 6-0, so that is a better improvement than I could ever hope for.”
